I tried Lipitor a couple of years back. I had to go off it because of "flu-like symptoms". My doctor recently prescribed Crestor (if it ends in "tor" it's pretty much the same). I'm getting the same symptoms.

The pharmacist said that I should stop it and call the doctor. I stopped taking it this morning and am going to the doctor tomorrow.

Anyone have these symptoms? Anyone take anything different that works and doesn't have these side effects? The pharmacist said that Zedia is different, doesn't lower it as much as Crestor/Lipitor, but doesn't have the same side-effects.

I've been feeling like I'm fighting the flu everyday I wake up. I hope these aches go away soon.
